The "Canadian Math Wars" have been in full force since release of the 2012 PISA results. Using phenomenography, we investigated public perceptions of the (not) new mathematics as expressed in responses to media coverage. Our results highlight the multiplicity of the public's perception of goals for an ideal school mathematics. We use the category of "Mastering Basic Computational Skills" to illuminate five dimensions informing this idealized goal: learning process, result of learning, order of learning, learning tasks, and the nature of mathematics. Our findings allow us to lay aside the rhetoric of oppositional stances to establish future avenues of communication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
